Achlys woke up and she felt a sharp pain in her head, she looked around and saw that she was in a small room.
There were lots of medicinal herbs and leaves there. She sat up and realized that her body felt much better, it was as if the poison was gone. A woman opened the door and entered
"You're awake already", she said and sat beside her."The poison had spread all over your body so I thought it would be a while before you woke up" she continued.
"Who are you?"
"I am Anelle, I learned a lot about poisons and when I saw you in the forest I knew you had been poisoned"she said.
"Oh... thank you for saving me" Achlys said.
"It is okay, but can I ask you something?" she asked. "Of course, what is it?" Achlys said.
"Do you know who's poisoned you? Don't misunderstand, it is because the poison was very different from others I have seen"she exclaimed.
"What type of poison is it?" asked Achlys.
"It effects are similar to poisons which were cultivated with weakening force for a long time,so anyone who gave it to you must be a really powerful person" she said.
"I don't know, but how did you find me?" Achlys said".
I saw you when I was investigating something in that area" she replied. "Investigating something?" Achlys said.
"Yes, three months ago I saw some bodies near the forest. It looked like they were recently murdered.
But the strange thing about their deaths is that there no marks on them, however it seems that they have lost lots of blood, even though there were no traces of blood on the floor", she said.
"How could something like that happen?"replied Achlys.
"You have heard about the killings in Derius right?.....I think this is related to it since the method is the same, I have been trying to follow but since then I have not found anything much",she said.
"Then why don't I help you at least for today"
——"Really, that will be nice but don't you have somewhere to be,I saw your school badge earlier"
Achlys remembered,it can only be a few days before she'd return but she knows someone that will definitely help her.
"Don't worry"
Cellus continued walking through the crowded street.
It had been days since he has been looking for Anelle all to no avail.
A man immediately rushed past him with some people chasing him behind.
They pushed everyone walking aside and finally caught the man they were chasing. They removed sticks and started to beat him.
He decided to leave when he stopped and went to meet them.
"Leave him alone"he said.
"What? Who does this man think he is talking to, this is none of your business so just leave"one of them said.
"If you don't want to die leave him alone!"he said with anger this time.
"What. this punk"Another one said and they rushed to where Cellus was.
"Seems like you are looking for a fight, beat him up"their leader said.
And they all came to Cellus trying to attack him at once when he fisted his hand and lifted it. He expected all of them to get injured however they died.
The man they were beating stood up and ran away and everyone started to whisper among themselves
"What have I done?"he muttered walking away quickly
Achlys entered the Stonage palace she had decided to ask her close attendant, Velox to help Anelle look for the immortal .
"I am not going to get caught by anyone today"__
She looked around to realize that all of them were training but Velox wasn't among them.
"Is she in her room", she turned around and was about to start looking for her when she felt a tap on her back.
She had decided not to get caught so she will attack whoever it was very quickly then escape.
At least she had trained so hard that apart from Velox no one else could withstand her moves.
She turned quickly raising her fist to hit the person before being seen.
"Achlys?"
She raised her heart only to see Velox right in front of her.
"What a relief you have no idea how scared I was... where have you been?
Did you know how worried we were?"
she said slightly raising her voice.
"Could you lower your voice, I don't want to get caught"
"What do you mean by that? Don't tell me you're planning to leave again?" she asked unable to believe what she was hearing.
Their master had been so calm after hearing about Achlys disappearance since it happened a lot, but after it took a few days she started getting worried even though she didn't say it.
And here wasn't the daughter she was so worried about just saying she didn't want to get caught.
"You know what I'm like, I don't like being stuck in one place.
I just came to ask you for something not to stay.
It is something really important, you must help me"
